Interesting talk by Mozilla's director of release engineering.<br>

I didn't watch it, because after a few minutes into the talk I realized: A guy from Mozilla talks at Google about the new release scheme they adapted from Google's own Chrome browser and ruined their browser with heaps of regression bugs and confusion about versions. Whatever the success of Firefox is, it was there before they changed their release process. That said it was a lesson learned, so maybe the talk wasn't that bad objectively.<br clear="all">

The arrows suggest that changes are allows made to the stablest development branch and push back from there, so no cherry-picking.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>-- <br>Jesse Phillips
